Enhancing Core Teaching Skills with Technology

#1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity

Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:

  • promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness
  • engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources
  • promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes
  • model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments

My Reflection on meeting this standard (So What?)

Using these skills have helped me meet these standards because they have made me think about what is available to both the teacher and the student. The students get to (will get to use collaborative tools to interact with the World not just a book.

My Future Learning Goals related to this standard (Now What?)

My future learning goal is to incooperate these tools into my classroom and have the students actually use them and realize that there is so much about the World that we do not know but can communicate with others from anywhere to find out.
